His text came out of nowhere last week, though a welcomed surprise. The last time we’d had a lengthy conversation I’d been somewhat of a bitch to him. It was nearly two months prior, after my ego had been bruised during our short-lived attempt at friends with benefits. At the time he’d wanted sex and I …

It’s been a rough few days since he left. It’s been a confusing few days… It was romance to the 10th power, in a fast forward motion that sped through what would normally take months or even years in five wonderfully fucked up days, that has left me breathless. It felt like magic; like the …
